North America: You Can Now Pre-Load Monster Hunter Stories On The eShop

For those of you living in North America and are planning to download Monster Hunter Stories from the Nintendo eShop, pre-load is now live for the game. It takes up 14,736 blocks of space, or 1.8GB.

By pre-loading the game, you get to download a huge chunk of it onto your Nintendo 3DS before the day of its launch. On the day it releases, your system will automatically download a small update, and you’ll be ready to play.

Monster Hunter Stories launches on September 8, 2017 in North America.
